Kings coach Michael Malone was ejected Tuesday night in New Orleans after arguing that Ramon Sessions was fouled with the Kings leading 40-35 with 4:42 to go in the second quarter.

"I don't want to get into it," Malone told the media after Sacramento's 98-89 win over the Pelicans. "Obviously, I was fighting for one of my players. Eric Lewis, who is a class act, e made the call and I didn't agree with it.

"Again, I want to focus on our players and our coaches on a great road win against a very good team."

Lewis employed a quick hook on Malone, administering two technicals and ejection simultaneously.
